Discovery Perlas Pilipinas bags 2nd win vs Myanmar

26th SEA Games Update : Women's Basketball  

Discovery Perlas Pilipinas bags 2nd win vs Myanmar 

Discovery Perlas  57 - 39 Myanmar 

Discovery Perlas rode on its  impressive rebounding game over the taller Myanmar squad , cashed in huge points from Myanmar's turnovers and showed composure down the stretch to win convincingly, 57-39!

Even with a shorter frontline , Discovery  Perlas won the rebounding game with  42 (10Off /32Def) against Myanmar's 33 (1Off /32Def).  Their swarming defense held Myanmar to a mere 16 points in the 2nd half ( 6 pts 3rdQ / 10 pts 4thQ ) !  

The much quicker Discovery Perlas' defense also led to 18 Myanmar turnovers from bad passes , 7 of which were committed in the 4thQ . Those costly Myanmar turnovers throughout  the game which translated to 11 turnover points  for Discovery probably cost them the game !

Spitfire Ewon Arayi and steady Analyn Almajan  led our girls in both scoring (with 13 and 11,respectively) ; and , rebounding (with 7 and 11 , respectively)!

Discovery Perlas second win draw them even with Thailand and left them as the only unbeaten teams in this 5-nation tourney!
